Audience

The apps page is available to all customers. For unacquired customers, it’s an opportunity for them to learn about our app and download it to try out. For acquired customers, it’s an opportunity to educate them on the devices that offer Amazon Photos and quick easy links for re-downloading our app.

From the table on the left, I saw more customers access this page via desktop and decided to start wireframing and ideating the desktop version first.

Exploration

Navigating the customer experience, looking over competitors, and ideating potential look and feel with the limited capabilities that our web builder, LEGO, offers.

I was able to audit different pages, most notably our competitor Google Photos. From their webpage I gathered what we could build off of while still keeping in mind the simplicity of both our webpages and the ease for customer experience

Hypothesis

Provide an updated and device-specific release of our US and International Amazon Photos App page on both desktop and mobile to create a cohesive and inviting experience that to improves clicks and new acquisition conversions of both apps.
Inspiration and Moodboard

Look and Feel

What I noticed with many other acquisition pages, is that they utilized illustrations or icons to help bring an evergreen and branded feel to the pages. With tech changing almost yearly, our competitors are able to stay up-to-date with their illustrations and provide a well-rounded experience that feels timeless.

Road Blocks

This project was in the queue before my time at Amazon Photos, our stakeholder along with our team were antsy to get this project going and released. While I would've loved to incorporate illustrations similar to our Amazon Photos app illustrations, time did not permit it for this part of our business quarter.

Illustrative Drafts

Before our timeline was cut short, I was able to take inspiration from the previous artist, Lynn and her illustrations from our updated app launch and incorporate it into my own re-imagined illustrations that featured devices.

Lynn provided such deep texture and frame breaking that I wanted to emulate with my own illustrations, to keep the dynamic and friendly feel our brand extends itself to, especially if we're trying to convince our customers to trust us with their treasured memories

Final Delivery + Take Aways

Since this was my first 'big' project at Amazon Photos, I learned so much about the software, systems, and resources available to me. Navigating our web-builder and creating the best solution for what it could achieve, I was able to be savvy and make a more interesting, informative, and on brand experience for our customers
